Maker Spotlight: Steven Goodwin
Steven Goodwin used to just tinker, but now he’s built a smart home, complete with an automated door map and interconnected media.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the perfect way for makers to get creative and use technology to solve problems. It’s easier now than ever before to connect physical devices in our world with the internet; from appliances that can be remotely monitored and controlled, healthcare monitoring systems, wearables, home security systems and more. By connecting things like this together, it lets us access data in ways that have never been possible before – such as checking how much energy an appliance uses or controlling lights in a room via your phone all over the world. In these blog posts, we cover everything you need to know about IoT: what it is, the benefits of using it and even some inspiring projects and tutorials so you can start taking advantage of its potential!
